MARS Mods

Mars, not too sure about. Try contacting the Enterprise though. I hear they go around uranus wiping out Klingons.

For those seriously interested, a factory reset is required after clipping the components.

Not all, none of the Kenwoods I moded needed a factory reset. Maybe some scanners unblocking the cell bands need restetting.

Referring to his 7300, as can be seen by what I quoted.

I realize this is a goof thread, but the one and only MARS mod I ever did was on my Alinco DX-SR9T. Never used a soldering iron before but the mod looked pretty easy. No de-soldering micro components. The mod involved adding a solder blob in between two pads then a reset. I figured I was going to turn my rig into a paper weight, but I dripped a nice blob of solder between the pads, let it cool, did a full reset and I was shocked to see that it worked and still works some 7 years later.

Why shocked? It's no different than turning on a light switch.

Heh. My DJ-195 was a, "remove the battery, remove a thin plastic cover, cut the green wire, hold down <key combination> to trigger a reset," process. The green wire was long enough that realistically I could have installed a switch on it rather than simply cutting if I'd really had a mind to.
